Description

A true legend - the nowadays retired police helicopter SE-HPG - is seen here after one of its very last flights in its career. The Bell 47 had just been part in a nine-ship formation together with all the new Bell 429s and a Bell 206 in order to celebrate the new Swedish police helicopter fleet. In fact, the Bell 47 inaugurated the EC135s when they were put in service as police helicopters in 2001, but it outlived them all. The Bell 47 will now be retired for good.
